Filter by:Advanced glycation end products (AGE) result from a chemical reaction between the carbonyl group of reducing sugar and the nucleophilic NH2 of a free amino acid or a protein; lysine and arginine being the main reactive amino acids on proteins. Following this first step, a molecular rearrangement occurs, rearrangement of Amadori resulting to the formation of Maillard products.
This study is planned to evaluate if linagliptin can improve endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the effect of linagliptin on arginine bioavailability ratios and postchallenge glycaemic control will be studied.
A multi-year clinical study to improve tools for measuring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important and frequent causes of death. Postprandial lipidemia (PPL) is an independent risk factor for CVD, besides the traditional risk factors e.g. hypertension, high LDL-cholesterol, family disposition of CVD and type 2 diabetes (T2D). A high PPL is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Reduction of increased PPL, as a part of CVD prevention, is therefore pivotal. Especially in groups with increased risk of CVD, like the metabolic syndrome (MeS) and T2D. Identification of a simple diet-related method will possibly result in reduction of CVD in healthy as well as high-risk subjects. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect whey protein consumed as pre-meal prior to a fat-rich meal on responses of triglycerides and apolipoprotein B48 (ApoB48) in subjects with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy subjects. Secondarily the aim is to study the responses of glucose, insulin, glucagon, amino acids, inflammatory markers, incretins, rate of gastric emptying and metabolomics. Also satiety feeling will be measured. Investigators hypothesize that whey protein consumed 15 minutes prior to a fat-rich isocaloric meal reduces triglyceride- and ApoB48 responses more in type 2 diabetic subjects compared to healthy subjects. The investigators research will hopefully contribute to a better understanding of how PPL can be modified in a simple manner. It will promote innovation to the food industry for development and production of healthy food products, which can be applied in the fight against CVD in the background population in general and high-risk people in particular. Thus, the results of this project can impart knowledge of great importance both to the national and international food industry as well as the healthcare systems.
Abdominal obesity and its metabolic consequences, particularly type 2 diabetes, require personalized nutritional monitoring. Today, it is not always possible to provide patients with appropriate care to both, the diet plan, physical activity, stress and sleep management. Emerging data have shown the effectiveness of remote support (e- coaching), in order to increase the level of physical activity and reducing calorie intake which causes weight loss similar to that obtained during a face to face consultation. Compared to a food survey conducted by a dietician, the dietary survey MXS computer software showed similar results on the collection of nutritional data. Furthermore, users preferred this method of remote collection compared to direct interview. The investigators recently developed a tool for e-coaching combining this computerized dietary survey and education and support modules on diet and physical activity (MXS- health program) for the patients. The aim of the investigators' study is to compare efficacy of this new software vs usual care.
This study is carried out to find out the inclusion of high and low glycaemic Index (GI) foods to daily meals impact on 24 hour blood glucose fluctuations and food intake.
To assess the efficacy of treatment with sitagliptin or dapagliflozin or lobeglitazone in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, who had inadequate glycemic control even though use of two drug combination therapy with glimepiride and metformin.
The overall objective of this study is to examine the blood flow in the thigh muscles and sugar metabolism before and after 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on a bicycle ergometer in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and matched controls. The following parameters are included in the assessment: - Sugar Metabolism - Muscle and fat mass - The blood flow at rest around the thigh muscles - Oxygen uptake test on a bicycle ergometer and 5 km time trial
This project aims to result in the identification of such markers, and the development of a feasible quantitative method of distinguishing between tissue that has the capacity to heal and tissue that does not, thus identifying a non-healing phenotype.
In Canada, there is a fast-growing population with diabetes, and the majority of diabetes cases are type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes and its complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, eye disease and foot disease, impair the quality of life and life expectancy. Chinese are the second largest visible minority in Canada. The diabetes incidence increased much more rapidly in the Canadian population of Chinese origin compared with that of European origin in past decades. Cultural factors are very likely to affect individual behaviour in diabetes treatment. Both international and Canadian diabetes organizations have recognized the importance of taking into account the cultural background and individual preferences in diabetes treatment. However, there lacks cultural relevant nutritional recommendations or guidelines for Chinese Canadians except some literally translated materials which may not be culturally relevant. In order to fill the gap, the investigators have developed a Chinese menu plan that includes commonly consumed Chinese dishes with nutrients breakdown and cooking tips to provide guidance for patients in their daily meal planning. This menu plan is a cultural translation of the Canadian nutritional guidelines, which is urgently needed among Chinese immigrants with T2D in Edmonton, according to our previous needs assessment. In this pilot test, the investigators will examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the Chinese menu plan. Twenty Chinese with T2D in Edmonton will be recruited to use the menu plan for 3 consecutive months and relevant indices of T2D will be tested as indicators of effectiveness. Feedback from participants will be obtained through one-on-one interviews and appropriate modifications will be made to the menu plan.
